Purpose
In this study, the ecotoxicological effects of the soil contaminations at an uncovered landfill site are assessed with two biological tests (earthworm avoidance test and luminous bacteria test). Furthermore, the state of rotting of the organic substance is estimated. Therefore, total organic carbon (TOC) contents and basal respiration rates are measured. 相似文献2.

Purpose
Sediment delivery from headwater catchments to reservoirs is a serious threat to reservoir sustainability and is a critical issue in Mediterranean environments where water resources are scarce. In this study we assessed the consequences of two landscape management scenarios (natural vegetation recovery and scrub clearance) on soil erosion and sediment yield. The results were analyzed in relation to predicted and measured rates of soil erosion and sediment yield, with the aim of promoting better management practices. 相似文献3.

Background
Labile carbon (Clabile) limits soil microbial growth and is critical for soil functions like nitrogen (N) immobilization. Most experiments evaluating Clabile additions use laboratory incubations. We need to field-apply Clabile to fully understand its fate and effects on soils, especially at depth, but high cost and logistical difficulties hinder this approach.Aims
Here, we evaluated the impact of adding an in situ pulse of an inexpensive and 13C-depleted source of Clabile—crude glycerol carbon (Cglyc), a by-product from biodiesel production—to agricultural soils under typical crop rotations in Iowa, USA.Methods
We broadcast-applied Cglyc at three rates (0, 216, and 866 kg C ha−1) in autumn after soybean harvest, tracked its fate, and measured its impact on soil C and N dynamics to four depths (0–5, 5–15, 15–30, and 30–45 cm). Nineteen days later, we measured Cglyc in microbial biomass carbon (MBC), salt-extractable organic C, and potentially mineralizable C pools. We paired these measurements with nitrate N (NO3−–N) and potential net N mineralization to examine short-term effects on N cycling.Results
Cglyc was found to at least 45-cm depth with the majority in MBC (18%–23% of total Cglyc added). The δ13C values of the other measured C pools were too variable to accurately track the Clabile fate. NO3−–N was decreased by 13%–57% with the 216 and 866 kg C ha−1 rates, respectively, and was strongly related to greater microbial uptake of Cglyc (i.e., immobilization via microbial biomass). Crude glycerol application had minor effects on soil pH—the greatest rate decreased pH 0.18 units compared to the control.Conclusions
Overall, glycerol is an inexpensive and effective way to measure in situ, Clabile dynamics with soil depth—analogous to how mobile, dissolved organic C might behave in soils—and can be applied to rapidly immobilize NO3−–N. 相似文献4.

Purpose
The purposes of this study were to understand the sorption?Cdesorption characteristics of propachlor in three types of soils with added solid organic matters and the effect of solid organic matters on propachlor mobilization in soil microstructures.Materials and methods
Three soil types, Eutric gleysols (EG), Hap udic cambisols (HUC), and Haplic alisol (HA), along with the lakebed sludge (SL) and pig manure compost (PMC), were used in the study. The sorption and desorption experiments were carried out using the standard batch equilibration method. Soil column leaching was performed with soil samples packed into PVC columns. Soil thin-layer chromatography was performed using soils and water mixture spread on a 0.5?C0.7-mm thick layer over 20?×?10-cm glass plates.Results and discussion
Propachlor was shown to be more mobile in EG and HUC than in HA. Application of PMC and SL to soils affected the propachlor mobilization in the soils. Using batch experiment, soil column, and soil thin-layer chromatography, we showed that addition of SL and PMC increased the sorption and decreased desorption of propachlor in the soils. Addition of PMC and SL reduced the total concentration of propachlor in the soil leachate and migration of propachlor in the soil profiles. Physicochemical properties of the three soils were analyzed and showed that the content of organic carbon (in percentage) was higher in Haplic alisol than in Eutric gleysols and Hap udic cambisols.Conclusion
The soil organic matter played critical roles in modifying the absorption and mobility of organic chemicals (e.g., herbicide and contaminants) in soil ecosystem. 相似文献5.

Background, Aim and Scope
Models describing in- and exfiltration of sewer systems require a large amount of data for calibration. These are often difficult and expensive to measure and to acquire. Therefore, this paper aims at clarifying whether results from various measurement campaigns might be joined to broaden the basis of an exfiltration model. Within this context, the transferability of exfiltration rates from one sewer (or catchment) to another is one of the crucial points.Materials and Methods
Exfiltration rates derived from field measurements and from literature (field and laboratory investigations) are compared with respect to - Catchment characteristics- Applied methods: tracer tests, blocking tests, and laboratory investigations- Experimental site: laboratory and field studies - Leakage area: Closed-circuit television (CCTV) serves as a substitute for sewer characteristics. From those records the leakage area is obtained calculating an exfiltration rate per day and cm² leakage area.-
Exfiltration was measured in two catchments and the findings were compared with published data for two catchments and two laboratory studies. As expected, exfiltration rates exhibit a wide range. We investigated whether the experimental design dominates the variance of measured data. The results are compared by means of statistical methods (Kruskal-Wallis analysis of ranks, Bootstrapping, and analysis of covariance-ANCOVA) to reveal significant differences in means.Results
The statistical analysis yields significant differences in exfiltration rates comparing the results obtained (i) in either field or laboratory and (ii) with different methods. Exfiltration rates measured in various catchments are not significantly different.Discussion
It can be shown that exfiltration rates obtained from field studies are affected by the measurement technique, whereas for laboratory investigations, the measurement technique does not influence the result in the first place. It is therefore difficult to jointly analyse laboratory and field experiments, i.e. a transfer of exfiltration rates from laboratory investigations to operational sewers is hardly feasible. It is also shown that results from different catchments are better suited for a joint assessment than results from differing methods.Conclusions
A joint assessment of exfiltration rates obtained in various studies is not feasible with the available datasets.Recommendations and Perspective
:A standardisation of methods would allow for optimal analysis of exfiltration rates measured by different researchers or operators.7.
Purpose
Managing declining nutrient use efficiency in crop production has been a global priority to maintain high agricultural productivity with finite non-renewable nutrient resources, in particular phosphorus (P). Rapid spectroscopic methods increase measurement density of soil nutrients and improve the accuracy of rates of additional P inputs. 相似文献8.

Purpose
This study uses sediment cores to quantify Holocene sedimentation rates in the Trinity River delta, Texas. An important question is whether modern fluvial sediment input from the Trinity River is adequate to sustain sedimentation in the delta, thereby combating subsidence and further wetland loss. Our objective was to quantify sedimentation rates within the delta in order to assess whether the delta is in- or out-of-phase with modern sediment delivery rates. 相似文献10.

Background, aim, and scope
Nitrate leaching from intensive vegetable production is an important contributor of nitrate contamination of water resources. The aim of this study was to quantify NO3 − leaching losses under intensive vegetable production as affected by different rates of N fertilizer and to determine the optimum N application rates both for vegetable production and for meeting the drinking water standard. 相似文献11.
Background
Cation exchange capacity (CEC) is a routinely measured soil fertility indicator. The standard NH4OAc (pH 7) extraction procedure is time-consuming and overestimates actual CEC values of variable charge soils. Unbuffered extractants have been developed to measure the effective CEC (eCEC), but they differ in the type of index cation and extraction procedures.Aim
This study was set up to systematically compare CEC values and exchangeable cation concentrations among different procedures and evaluate their practical aspects.Methods
Five procedures were compared for (e)CEC, that is, silver thiourea (AgTU), cobalt(III) hexamine (Cohex), compulsive exchange (CE, i.e., BaCl2/MgSO4), BaCl2 (sum of cations in single-extract), and NH4OAc (pH 7). We applied these methods to a set of 25 samples of clay minerals, peat, or samples from soils with contrasting properties.Results
The CEC values correlated well among methods (R2 = 0.92–0.98). Median ratios of eCEC (AgTU as well as CE) to the corresponding eCEC (Cohex) value were 1.0, showing good agreement between eCEC methods, but NH4OAc exceeded Cohex values (ratios up to 2.5 in acid soil). For BaCl2-extracteable cations, the ratio ranged from low (<1.0) in acid soils (acid cations not measured) to high (>1.0) in high-pH soil (dissolution of carbonates). Multiple-extraction methods (CE and NH4OAc) yielded more variation and increased labor.Conclusions
The chemical properties of the sample cause method-specific interactions with chemical components of extractants. We found the Cohex method with ICP-MS detection to be the most efficient and cost-effective technique for determination of eCEC and exchangeable cations. 相似文献12.
Purpose
Soil macropores play a principal role in water infiltration but they are highly variable. The objectives of this study were (1) to investigate the temporal change in macropores of an Ultisol as affected by land use and slope position and (2) to analyze contribution of macropores to water infiltration.Materials and methods
Water infiltration was measured at upper and lower slopes in citrus orchard and watermelon field once every 2 months for 1 year using tension infiltrometers at a successive pressure head from ?12, ?6, ?3, to 0 hPa.Results and discussion
Hydraulic conductivity (K) was significantly affected by land use and slope position except at 0 hPa pressure head, showing a significant temporal variation. Effective macroporosity, derived from the increment of hydraulic conductivity between ?3 and 0 hPa, showed a significant temporal variation. Such temporal variation was land use (P?<?0.05) and slope position (P?<?0.001) dependent. Despite of low proportion in total soil volume (averaged 3.5 cm3 m?3), the macropores contributed 47 % of water flux on average. The macroporosity was more stable and higher in the citrus orchard (2.43 cm3 m?3, coefficient of variance (CV)?=?75 %) than in the watermelon field (1.72 cm3 m?3, CV?=?117 %) and contributed more to infiltration in the citrus orchard (60 %, CV?=?16 %) than in the watermelon field (33 %, CV?=?43 %) as well, because tillage was operated only in the watermelon field.Conclusions
No-tillage increased water conducting macropores but did not increase hydraulic conductivity irrespective of slope position.13.
Impact of global climate change and fire on the occurrence and function of understorey legumes in forest ecosystems 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Introduction
The objective of this review was to provide a better understanding of how global climate change and fire influence the occurrence of understorey legumes and thereby biological nitrogen (N) fixation rates in forest ecosystems. Legumes are interesting models since they represent an interface between the soil, plant, and microbial compartments, and are directly linked to nutrient cycles through their ability to fix N. As such, they are likely to be affected by environmental changes. 相似文献14.

Purpose
Vegetable production is one of the most intensive agricultural systems with high rates of nitrogen (N) fertilizer use and irrigation, conditions conducive for nitrate (NO3−) leaching, and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide (DCD), in decreasing NO3− leaching and N2O emissions in vegetable production systems. 相似文献15.

Purpose
Nitrate removal is a major challenge in drinking water systems and is more acute in colder latitudes due to low metabolic conversion rates of biological systems. To achieve rapid nitrate removal, designed plant systems in greenhouse microenvironments has potential. In such localized controlled microenvironments, higher temperatures can be managed for plant growth in an appropriate growth medium through which nitrate-contaminated water is fed for denitrification. 相似文献16.

Purpose
Estimating phosphorus (P) sorption is generally achieved by measuring a decrease in P concentration over a defined period. However, information within the literature has not been able to be widely applied, probably due to the variability in incubation periods and initial P concentrations in reported experiments. The objective of this study was to investigate whether variations in incubation time and initial P concentration might result in differences in measured levels of P sorption in sediments. 相似文献17.

Background
Agricultural soils often require organic amendments, which improve crop yield and ecosystem services. Biochar has been proven to increase nutrient availability and retention in fine-textured, tropical soils.Aims
Here we determine how coarse-textured, temperate soils react to different biochar-application rates in different tillage systems.Methods
We conducted a 6-month laboratory incubation experiment in microcosms filled with a coarse-textured, temperate agricultural soil to determine the effects of biochar-application rate (none, low, or high, i.e., 0, 20, or 40 t dw ha−1, respectively) and application method (mixed into the soil or applied to the soil surface) on microbial activity and biomass, and nutrient availability and leaching.Results
Microbial activity and biomass and contents of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in leachates were higher in biochar-addition treatments (by 134%, 37%, 372%, 28%, and 801%, respectively) than in the no-addition treatment. The effect was stronger with the low than with the high biochar-application rate. Biochar applied by both methods acted as a slow-release fertilizer, but this effect was stronger when biochar was mixed into the soil. Although available nutrient contents in the soil remained high, nutrient leaching decreased with incubation time. This effect was especially evident when biochar was mixed into the soil.Conclusions
Biochar is an effective organic amendment in coarse-textured soils providing available nutrients. On the other hand, nutrient-retention mechanisms develop slowly after biochar application and may be greater when biochar is mixed into the soil than applied on the soil surface. 相似文献18.

Background
Development of an evaluation tool to determine genotypic variation in phosphorus (P) utilization efficiency is essential to ensure crop productivity and farmers’ income under low P environments.Aims
This study aimed to develop an evaluation tool to determine genotypic variation in low-P tolerance and P use efficiency under low P environments.Methods
Root response and P efficiency traits in 20 maize genotypes with contrasting root systems were assessed 32 days after transplanting into the semi-hydroponic root phenotyping system under low P (10 µM) or optimal P (200 µM) supply.Results
Compared to optimal P, low P supply increased root-to-shoot biomass ratio by 48.7% (shoot dry weight decreased by 20.0% and root dry weight increased by 20.6%). Low P supply increased total root length by 17.8% but decreased primary root depth, with no significant change in lateral root number across all genotypes. Low P stress enhanced P utilization efficiency. Based on genotypic variation and correlations among the 17 measured plant traits in response to low P stress, nine traits were converted to low-P tolerance coefficients (LPTC), compressed by principal component analysis. The three principal component scores were extracted for hierarchical cluster analysis and classified the 20 genotypes into three groups with different P efficiency, including two P-efficient genotypes and nine P-inefficient genotypes.Conclusions
The study demonstrated genotypic variation in response to low P stress. The P-efficient genotypes with higher LPTC values better adapted to low P environments by adjusting root architecture and re-distributing P and biomass in plant organs. The systematic cluster analysis using selected traits and their LPTC values can be used as an evaluation tool in assessing P efficiency among the genotypes. 相似文献19.

Background
Organic farmers frequently report sufficient yield levels despite low or even very low soil phosphorous (P) contents questioning the applicability of widely used laboratory methods for soil P testing for organic farming.Aims
The aim of this study was to compare the validity of a broad range of different soil extraction methods on soils under organic management from South West Germany and to test the correlation of the measured soil P concentration with plant offtake.Methods
Twenty-two soil samples of eight different organic farms were extracted with different solutions: (1) water, (2) CAL, (3) Olsen, (4) Mehlich 3, (5) Bray P1, (6) Bray P2, (7) NaOH+Na2EDTA, and (8) total P. The results were then correlated with above ground plant P.Results
Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (rs) of correlations between above ground plant P and extractable soil P (Water-P, CAL-P, and Olsen-P [+active charcoal {+AC}]) determined with ICP-OES were strong (0.94, 0.90, and 0.93, respectively). Among the tested methods, above ground plant P showed a strong correlation with CAL-P as detected by ICP-OES (rs = 0.90) and colorimetry (rs = 0.91). The comparison of CAL-P data provided by farmers and CAL-P analyzed during this research showed discrepancies between the results.Conclusions
The results of this study indicate that the CAL method can be used in organic farming despite a low extraction of organic P (Porg). Furthermore, it is recommended for farmers to take soil samples for analyses regularly and interpret changes in P in the long-term instead of interpreting individual samples. 相似文献20.
